Manna In Eastern Turkey.

Mr.. Cole, Of Bitlis, missionary of the
American board in Eastern Turkey, in de-
scribing a journey from Harpoot TO Bitlis.
says: We travelled for four DAYS through
region where had newly fallen 4 remark
able deposit Of heavenly bread, as the
natives sometimes call it-manna There
were extensive forests Of scrubby oaks,
and most Of the deposit was on the leaves.
Thousands of the poor peasants, men.
women and children, were out upon the
plains gathering the sweet substance.
Some of them plunge into kettles of boil
ing water the newly c-t branches Of the
oaks, which washes OF the deposit until
the water becomes so sweet as TO remind
the Yankee Of yeritable suSarinC off in
the old Granite state - he takes sips of it.
Other companies of natives NAV be seen
vigorously beating with sticks the
branches, that from having been spread
on the ground have so dried that the
Ciistening crystals fall readily upon the
carpet spread 10 receive them The
crystals are separated from the pieces OF
leaves by a sieve and then the mamma IS

in great demand among these Oriental

DR.. Martin. of Colby. Thomas county,
tells us that in making an excavation for
bank building in Colby. the portion of
the site still covered with buffalo grass
was found unfrozen and the earth as dry
as gunpowder, while on the part of the
ground where the sod had been broken
last fall the ground was frozen to the
depth of three or four feet, and so hard
that it had to be blasted. This proves
that the buffalo sod is absolutely water
proof Where it exists there is no alb
sorption. 1t is easy. with DR.. Martins
fact in view, to understand the climatic
difference effected by blowing. The nom
absorptive quality of buffalo sod, how
ever, has one advantage. 1t does not
freeze and breaking can be carried on all
winter. as has been the case the past win

Judge Hnghes's Letter.

IN the Defamation of independence
our fathers arraigned GEORGE III. for
Transporting them beyond seas to be
tried for pretended offences. Judge
BoyD has profted by the example Of
GEORGE Ill, and caused our people to
go beyond the limits Of this Common
wealth to be harassed in mind and bur
thened in their bodies and their goods.
In the language of the same Declaration
of independence, he has held his courts
"at places unusual, uncomfortable,
and distant from the depository of the
records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing
the people into compliance with his
measures.
Cur people reioiced, therefore, yes
terday when they read Judge HUaHEs's
emphatic protest against this travesty
of Justice. He declines to go beyond
the jurisdiction of the State OF Virginia
10 hold courts professedly held in the
interest OF the pesple of Virginia. He
declines to convert court intended TO
be open to the public into a star-cham-
Der tribunal. he declines to deny JUS
tice to suitors by putting it out OF their
reach. He declines to pretend to be
holding court in Virginia when he is
holding it in the solitude of Balti-
more-solitude so far as the presence
of yirginians not compelled to be pres
ent is concerned. lie declines to delay
justice by resort 10 unworthy me-
thods In a word, Judge HUaHEs has
as an honored son done his duty to the
Commonwealth of Virginia. He has
refused to be party 70 any litigation
not such Us would have been approved
by the founders of the republic and the
trainers Of the Constitution.

Put Yourself in His Place,

IOI OuTStll III 'th~Ns
The report we gave yesterday of Mr..
RoYAL's speech of Monday in Judge
ArKrNss court shows how easy 1t is for
a man 10 claim for himself rights which
he denies to other persons, and yet not
know that he has done so. Let us sup
pose that one of the grand jurymon
sued by Mr.. RoYALL for damages should
appear in Judge BONDS court and there
repeat so much of Mr.. RoYALL's speech
as was applicable to his case. He might
say:
The first ground on which oppose
Judge BoND's entertaining this SUIT
against the grand jury is that whether
the grand jury had good reasons for in
dieting Mr.. ROYAL or not, still, fthey
Thought they had good reasons, they not
only had the right to indict him, but it
was their duty 10 do so, and no power on
earth can rightfully call them to &C
count for so doing.
This suit against n grand jury strikes
a. the fundamental right of every right
that citizens have. Ours is a republic
in which every man, from the highest
to the lowest. is under the dominion of
the law. We have no privileged classes
here. When any grand juror believes
that the laws of the Commonwealth
hwe been violated, it is his right and
his duty to find true bill against the
offender. Just at this point lies the
line of demarkation between a govern
ment of brute force and government
of law, and when an attempt Is made
to stife the voice Of any citizen, to
hinder and delay him in doing his duty
in the courts of the land, step has
been taken toward forcing him to re-
dress himself by the hand of violence
The second ground on which | OPP
pose this suit for damages is that /
claim that the suit is brought in viola
ton of the Constitution of the United
States. Judge BoND has in my opinion
no right to take jurisdiction of any
such case. claim that the act of Con
gress under which this suit for damages
was instituted is repugnant to the Con-
stitution of the United States, and it is
now the fixed and settled law of this
land by the decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States that court
which undertakes to enforce an uncOn-
stitutional law is without jurisdiction.
II is Judge LYNcH's court (What
would BOND DO if Mr.. PoTrs were to
use to him the language which Mr..
RoYALL employed in talking to Judge
ATKIys?)

4 Great Orator Reduced TO Reg for
Aims in His Old Age.

ADetroit Mich special says: A re-
markable and even pathetic incident oc-
cured at kalamazoo, in this State, the
latter part Of last week. \ very old
man, past eighty years, appeared IN the
Office of the superintendent OF the
Door to solicit public assistance. He
had no oyercoat and was dressed i'll
thin, threadbare suit OF black. The
silk hat on his head, like the white
hair beneath it, had seen the storms
of many winters He carried a small
parcel, and two canes with which
TO support his steps it was with
difficulty that the official, after the
AGED man had told his name, recognized
in him the famous Augustus Littleiohn,
an orator of such splendid abilities IN
his prime, forty years ago, that no one
who heard him ever forgot the almost
irresistible magnetism of his eloquence.
Arriving from Niles, Mr. Littlejohn had
applied to the poor authorities for as
sistance to enable him to reach School
craft, which place he desired to visit.
The assistance WIS instantly furnished
him, as one whose talents and past SER
vices 10 mankind entitled him to some
thing better than miserable poverty in
his old age. and. armed with pauper's
ticket, heleft for SchO0lcrait that after
noon.
Augustus Littleiohn was a great man
among a generation now passed away.
He was the Cough of the forties. Old
settlers who have heard him repeatedly
say that he surpassed Cough in the
vividnoss of his descriptions and the
wonderful and altogether inaescribable
dramatic force of his utterances. He
lectured repeatedly all through Michi-
gan and Indiana on temperance, with
enormous crowds attending his lee
lures everywhere. He was known
all throughout the East as well
rs in the West. Thousands all over
the country were reclaimed 10y him from
intemperance. He was of the noted
Littleiohn family of Herkimer, n: T.,
n family distinguished for its talent.
Bishop Littlejohn, of Long Island, and
the late Hon. De Wit G. Littleiohn, of
Oswego, ". T., were nephews of his
Now in picturesque, but nevertheless
miserable poverty, the Old man is
obliged to ask for public aims. 1t will
be startling news to most of those who
knew him in his prime, or those who
are only acquainted with his splendid
reputation, to hear that the matchless
orator of nearly hall u century ago is
still alive, so long has he been hidden
away from public observation and
knowledge.

Two bic soldiers from Fort Hamilton
prevented serious trouble at Hyde &
pehman's Theatre, in Adams street,
brooklyn, last night, and saved 1000
people from the effects Of what came
very near being o disastrous panic.
The theatre was filed at 8:1j o'clock,
when the manager turned on the steam
heat. From some cause o pipe burst,
and the Kissing OF the escaping steam
could he heard all over the house. For
a minute or two this noise continued,
and, although some ladies looked around
nervously, the audience showed no signs
Of excitement until suddenly some one
in the balcony cried out "Fire.
Instantly all was confusion. Men
dashed for the doors, several ladies
tainted. and some of those who re-
tanned consciousness contributed 10 the
confusion with their screams. In two
minutes it was all over. The first per-
son to reach the door was stopped by
the big soldiers long enough to regain
his senses, and in few seconds there
we're score of men reinforcing the
soldiersand urging the people TO return
to their seats. Only few declined to
do so. The ladies who had tainted
were revived in their chairs, while the
men who had been trampled upon
nursed their bruises out in the lobby.
Mr.. Behman explained things from the
stage and the play went on as though
nothing had happened.
